A 29-year-old housewife joined her husband in jail after authorities discovered a sachet of shabu hidden under her bra when she visited him at the detention center in Pasig City Thursday night.

The suspect, Cherry Evangelista, a resident of Phase I, Matanza, Barangay Pinagbuhatan admitted during tactical interrogation she brought the illegal stuff upon the request of her husband, Leo, who is a confessed drug addict.

According to Cherry, she visited Leo, who was jailed for robbery, at about 6 p.m. Thursday.

Cherry said the confiscated shabu was for her husband’s consumption.

She denied she was into drugs. Police will file possession of illegal drugs charges against Cherry who is now in a cell opposite the one occupied by Leo. – Non Alquitran
